Saving on Plastic Surgery with treatment in Ankara

Plastic Surgery is among the treatments UK patients most often travel abroad to access at a lower cost. Ankara, Turkey's capital, is known for its established university and JCI accredited hospitals rather than tourism. Patients who want a clinical, hospital led setting often choose Ankara, where many surgeons hold academic posts and facilities are geared towards complex and medical cases.

Privately in the UK, plastic surgery costs around £6,500 and is rarely available on the NHS. At an accredited clinic in Ankara, the same treatment typically costs about £2,300 all inclusive, a saving of roughly 64%. Prices usually cover consultation, surgery, anaesthesia, hospital stay, compression garments, hotel and transfers.

Getting to Ankara from the UK

Travelling to Ankara from the UK is straightforward. London to Ankara takes around 4 hours 30 minutes, either direct or via Istanbul. Clinics arrange airport pick up and hotel transfers as part of the package.

Most patients plan a trip of seven to ten days for plastic surgery. Ankara offers a calmer, less touristy recovery environment focused on the medical side of the trip. A Dr.Visor coordinator helps arrange flights, accommodation and the clinic schedule, and stays reachable throughout.
